MENTO#
Remote data processing from the beamline#
MENTO is a Python (3.7+) library for running remote data processing on Maxwell computers from any local beamline computer on PETRA III beamlines at DESY.
The data processing could be any task, like
remote data analysis
remote/local data visualization
All you need to know are:
how to run the data processing program
location of the input data and desired output data
MENTO contains helper functions that automate the boring bits, like
getting access to Maxwell resources
using time-limited credentials for remote connections
submitting data processing jobs to the HPC resource manager (e.g. Slurm)
Here is a short YouTube video about the main uses of MENTO, from a talk given at NOBUGS 2022.
